"...important and interesting ideas..." -- New Testament Abstracts

"John Sellars offers an engaging and useful new contribution to the field, likely to appeal to undergraduates, graduate students, and interested non-experts." -- Jenny Bryan, University of Manchester, Greece & Rome

"Hellenistic Philosophy, written masterfully by John Sellars, is the definitive guide to this fundamental period of philosophy....much more than just an introduction to an essential philosophy. I would recommend this oeuvre to anyone who loves history, has an interest in philosophy or wants to widen the reach of the therapeutic value of philosophy." -- Aline Maya Paredes, Metapsychology Online Reviews

"Sellars has written an excellent introduction to Hellenistic philosophy. I will certainly use it in my teaching, and I recommend it very strongly to other teachers." -- Peter Aronoff, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"fascinating ... This important work makes a compelling case for the value of Hellenistic philosophy and, in particular, for a reappraisal of the value of Cicero as both a scholiast and a philosopher in his own right. Sellars concludes by calling for scholars to begin investigating Indo-Greek philosophy as part of Hellenistic philosophy, a welcome suggestion ... Highly recommended." -- G. J. Reece, CHOICE
